I love the idea of wearing this cardigan over a sweet skirt, or tailored jeans and tank. Pair with some boat shoes to enforce the nautical feel of the garter stitch stripes. I love that the garter stitch stripes are worked with the traditional wrong-side as the right-side to add just a touch of whimsy to an otherwise preppy cardigan. Play with different colors to make this design all your own!
